It was okay I guess to be honest I did not like OVMS this year last year was nice though. Some of the Teachers don't really provide that much support for kids who need help and aren't really friendly there aren't many janitors only two and the Bathrooms reek plus there is a lot of bullying.

We love this school, and have had 2 kids go through it. The teachers are loving, parents are super-involved, and it has a fun culture with neat traditions. My only two hiccups: there is nothing being done at all for GATE students, and donations are constantly, constantly being asked for. Other than that, we wouldn't take back any of the experiences we had here. Kids are kind to one another and they had a great anti-bullying program.

As an alumni this school has many issues. The students are not excited about learning they race to take as many AP classes as possible without truly engaging and comprehending the material and applications. The goal is to check it off the list. Being of mixed race I found the school to lack diversity and many students displayed racial hostility to non whites. Even worst was the observation that if you were not a product of this community (homegrown) as the locals called it, you were excluded from many opportunities. Sad to see so many of these kids and their families left out. Bullying is rampant in this school both academically from peers and socially between cliques. If you keep below the radar you should have no problems. Save your shine for college when it will be appreciated. On the positive side there are some great teachers there. They have a tough job and do the best they can to prepare you. Take note of the high test scores but very low reviews. Del Norte lacks balance.
